Plh Presiden PKS Ahmad Heryawan (Aher) mengapresiasi adanya acara pembekuan Kabinet Merah Putih oleh Presiden Prabowo Subianto di Akademi Militer (Akmil) Magelang.

According to him, the retreat activity is a moment to strengthen solidity and synergy between ministers in the Red and White Cabinet.

"By carrying out joint activities in different environments, it is hoped that it can improve cohesiveness and better understanding between cabinet members," Aher told reporters, Friday, October 25.

Aher said the challenges faced by the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government were very complex. Starting from global political dynamics issues, to difficult economic challenges.

"Of course it requires unity of attitude and views, how to solve all of these problems," said Aher.

The former Governor of West Java understands that the current number of ministries is very large. There are around 53 ministries and institutions at the ministry level.

Therefore, according to Aher, the main challenge is cross-sectoral coordination which has been problematic and is still marked by sectoral ego problems.

"With President Prabowo's leadership style set in military backgrounds, of course ministers need to be conditioned with his leadership style. So that the potential for sectoral egos can be minimized," he said.

Aher did not see a perspective if the Prabowo government was called a military flavor.

He assessed that the briefing or sanctions event for ministers and deputy ministers in the Tidar Valley was the former Minister of Defense's way of disciplining his cabinet.

"This is his way of background in an effort to discipline his ministers, equalize perceptions, and how to behave appropriately," he explained.

Aher then highlighted President Prabowo's speech on the day of his inauguration on Sunday, October 20. According to him, Prabowo really pays attention to democratic values that are suitable and distinctive for Indonesia's personality.

"This is what we need to continue to remind him, so that he continues to appreciate the opinions that arise from all components of the nation as a contribution in strengthening the nation and state, and at the same time will strengthen Pak Prabowo's government," he concluded.
